slightly OT...dumbest thing I've ever done lol
Well, is everyone ready to see my biggest trading mess up ever?!?!? You'll enjoy it I bet, cause I just realized I paid the stupid tax lol. Made a deal with a member (who, shockingly enough is now banned lol) for a 2010 Tribute auto triple relic black /30 of Jordan Shipley. I received a 2010 Finest dual relic Jordan Shipley /350....and somehow it took me over 3 months to notice! Needless to say, I ate some BV on this one, oh well, guess I had to pay the stupid tax
Anyone else ever do something like this? Please say you have, it'll make me feel better!

Maybe not as bad but I bought a card on eBay a few weeks ago and the scan showed slight damage on it but I didn't notice it until after I paid for it.

I traded a Michael Crabtree RC auto /10 for a Alex Smith passing the torch BGS 9 Auto /99 Crabtree wasn't so hot at the time. Neither was Alex smith, I think the other guy got the better end of the deal.

RE: slightly OT...dumbest thing I've ever done lol
Not really the same but Ive had 4 trades in the last month or so where the bv on the card I traded went up as it was on the way to the other trader. And had a card that I was getting drop 80% on its way to me!!
Ive never seen a card drop 80% at one time. It wasnt a high bv card but still, C'MON Beckett. $10 to $2 is pretty ridiculous if you ask me...
Neither my or the other traders fault but Ive been getting the bv screws put to me lately, lol.

I bought a 2001 Topps Chrome Pujols RC on ebay his description was something like "you are bidding on a 2001 Topps Chrome Albert Pujols RC see image for card, mine is just like that but much better"
He used an image for a 2001 card
He sent me a 2006 Rookie week like the one shown below
